There are reports of Gundogan returning to Manchester city as he’s wanted by Pep Guardiola. Who would've thought Gundogan would be leaving Barcelona to return to Manchester City after how many seasons.
I don’t know how I feel about his return, but they have used him before and Pep knows exactly what he offers. Exactly same set of players he left in the dressing room last season. For pep, it's plug and play. He understands what the manager wants from him and he doesn't have to take time to fit in and blend in. I think it’s a win win for all parties. Gundogan back in City's midfield strengthens them big time.
I just found out about this. No wonder when I checked Barcelona's match last week against Valencia, I didn't see Gundogan in the Barcelona squad. It seems that the former Man City captain is indeed on the list of players who will be released by Barcelona. Barcelona wanted to let him go because it was to lighten their finances. that's what I read. But now I hear that it is not only Man City who are trying to secure the services of this player. But several clubs from outside Europe are also eyeing him, including from the Saudi Arabian League. But Man City is moving quickly and seems to be in the process of negotiations if you look at the reports some time ago regarding Man City and Gundogan. For Man City, Gundogan can still be very useful. because even in the 2022-23 season we have seen Gundogan's contribution to Man City which is quite important. So it's only natural that this player will be immediately accepted by Man City if he wants to return.
